National Vodka Day: Aquavit

Aquavit is normally a vodka flavored with caraway seeds and anise, dill, fennel, coriander, and grains of paradise. Everyone makes their own version but caraway is the dominant flavor. Aquavit comes to the US with the traditional flavors plus something for Americans, the flavors of white cranberries. Even though the spirit is rather flavored, it can mix nicely with a lot of other stuff, including Elderflower syrup or an orange liqueur. We're finally getting something that Europeans have had in multiple iterations for quite some time. Now, if we could just figure out existentialism.... Aquavit

Garlic Vodka

I'm not sure if Yat is a group full of geniuses or if the vodka world is so out of flavors to put in their sauce that desperation is beginning to mount. I look forward to the Milk flavored vodka. Then a return to our roots with vodka flavored vodka. Yat has popped out with two rather unique flavors. One of them is garlic and the other is horseradish. I imagine the horseradish flavored one is probably great with a nice cut of Prime Rib and the garlic is great with just about any Italian or Spanish dish. Though the recommendation is with "jellied tongue" or "herring seasoned with spring onions." I'm sure the latter makes for some great make-out sessions. Nothing like a sultry night of necking with the smell of herring, onions, and horseradish on your breath. Yat Flavored Vodkas via Bottle Watch
